What's he supposed to say??? "I misjudged the market and had to sign the best contract I could get... unfortunately it's in a hockey backwater for 2 years and 1 million less than I wanted" -

Why a center... AA was fine in that role. -

This would have been a much better addition for us than a retread in Fil... 2 years, cheap, tradeable, young enough to potentially mesh with our core, has some upside and is a veteran. But we added a 35 year old clone of a player we already have. -
ABZ/Seider

Is this at all legit or have the dog days of summer hit you hard?

Totally agree... I even had a few "man tears"

I grew up in th 90s and I didn't know what most of that consumerist plastic junk was. Oh and "Zagina" -

Those contracts you mentioned... why were they signed??? I think any fan who looked at those players objectively thought those were excessive/bad contracts. How did an experienced management team miss the mark so badly, so often. -

He'll be back after that contract... no worry. -

Absolutely... these signings are horrific. Can't blame Yzerman for trades that aren't made because he doesn't fully control those moves. But these contracts are awful... and demoralizing to fans who recognize we have a derth of our own mediocre place holder garbage players... who we should be trying to trade or force out we should NOT be adding fuel to the dumpster fire. -

I think the new regime might be more open to freeing a roster spot by demotion than the former regime. For example if Erricsson was told you're going to be in GR this year... the roster spot is open, you still have the cap hit but we have lots of cap... and who knows he may rage quit like a 12 year old playing fortnite. -
Get a clue... I'm not Trolling. I'm trying to tell you to temper your expectations. You asked and I answered.... not sure why you're so emotional over my point of view.

20+ goals scored consistently, not in bunches as garbage goals in lopsided wins or losses, a +/- in the top 1/4 of the forward group, and no prolonged stretches of irrelevance like last year in the AHL. Since this is never gonna happen it's rather a moot point.

I think I am right and time will prove it... it will be what it will be gratification or success is irrelevant.

We'll have the 6th pick again... if uncle Gary allows it. -
Should make for a good excuse when nets remain unfilled.

I love the Seider pick! Watch that guy being interviewed he's very sharp, self-aware, and seemingly willing to be a team guy. The argument about where he should have been picked is based on mock drafts... remember these guys aren't scouts they just play them on TV.

Toronto is rumored to be interested in trading Kadri, would a Glendenning + defenceman we want rid of (lots if salary retained) for Kadri and a 3rd be tempting? -
Well the way your going on it really seems like you forgot that basic fact.
-
Both parties have to agree to have a deal... I'm sure they tried several trade back scenarios likely even with the 6th pick, but it takes 2 to tango. On some level you must realize this.
